DESCRIPTION

RT750 & RT1500 models are supplied with the model PSA-1 Fan Proving Switch which will disable the burner(s) if an Inducer mal-

function should occur and are compatible with Tjernlund UC1, UCRT and DCOP1 interlock controls. The RT750H & RT1500H are

supplied with a wall mount speed control to vary inducer performance in solid fuel applications. The Rooftop Inducer may be used on

positive or negative pressure rated chimneys because the fan creates a negative pressure throughout the entire venting system.

Suitable for use on natural gas, LP-gas, oil-fired, solid fuel heating systems or general ventilation. Also applicable for dryers, gas fire-

places, stoves, BBQ’s or pizza ovens. The Rooftop Inducer must always be installed outdoors at the vent system termination. Refer to

heating appliance manufacturer's instructions regarding specific venting requirements.

GENERAL SELECTION INFORMATION

Selection of a Rooftop Inducer involves determination of the maximum volume of air or gases to be handled, their density and the

maximum static pressure which the fan must overcome. Rooftop Inducer performance needs to be de-rated from 70OF performance

curves to anticipated air or gas temperatures. Please feel free to contact us for application and model selection assistance by calling

800-255-4208 or email us at [email protected]. Vent layout or other information can be faxed to 651-426-9547. See “Sizing a

Common Manifold Serving Multiple Heaters” on Page 12 for manifold considerations.

*IMPORTANT: Select the inducer based on the BTU/hr input of the appliance(s) rather than

the diameter of the appliance(s) vent outlet or chimney. Vent/Chimney sizes listed are the

smallest inside diameter recommended for the associated BTU/hr input. Use a tapered reduc-

ing collar or transition fitting if the vent is reduced to the pipe diameter listed in selection table.

To determine equivalent feet, add the total length of straight vent pipe plus 10 feet for each 90

degree elbow and 5 feet for each 45 degree elbow.

Selection for Solid Fuel Fireplaces

Efficient draft that moves smoke up the chimney and

keeps it from entering the living area is dependent on

maintaining a negative pressure capture velocity at the

hearth opening. Even if glass fireplace doors are present,

reducing the open area, a negative pressure capture

velocity must be calculated based on the entire hearth

opening since the doors need to be opened to add addi-

tional logs.

Multiply the vertical and horizontal hearth opening to

determine the face area opening in square feet. If the

fireplace is open on the sides or back total all openings

to arrive at the total face area.

If typically the fire can be maintained but smoke drifts into

the room, select the model which has a face area capaci-

ty equal or greater than the face opening.

Maximum Face Area:

RT750H 14 Ft²

RT1500H 28 Ft²

Tjernlund offers free design recommendations for unusu-

al fireplace designs, such as free-standing and custom

gas fireplaces. If in doubt, consult factory.

ROOFTOP INDUCER TERMINATION CLEARANCES

U.S. INSTALLATIONS

Terminate the Rooftop Inducer so that proper minimum clearances are maintained as cited in the latest edition of the National Fuel

Gas Code (NFPA 54), NFPA 211 or 31 when applicable.

CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS

In the absence of local codes in Canada, installations must comply with the latest edition of the Natural Gas Installation Code

(CAN/CGA-B149.1), the Propane Installation Code (CAN/CGA-B149.2), the Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment (CSA Std

B139-M91) or as follows:

The Rooftop Inducer base must be a minimum of 9” above a roof. Optional roof mounting kits are available from Tjernlund.

• A venting system shall not direct flue gases so as to jeopardize people, overheat combustible structures, or enter buildings.

Aventing system shall not terminate within (4 ft U.S.) (1.8 m / 6ft Canada) of the following:

• A window, door or mechanical air supply inlet of any building

• A gas service regulator vent outlet

• A combustion air inlet

• A direction facing combustible materials or openings of surrounding buildings

Aventing system shall not terminate within 1m (3ft) of the following:

• At least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.

• Above a gas meter/regulator assembly within 1m (3ft) horizontally of the vertical centreline of the regulator

INSTALLATION OF ROOFTOP INDUCER

The Rooftop motor side is heavy. Remove (2) hinge pins and (2) latch screws opposite hinge side to separate the motor sec-

tion from the mounting base prior to installation. When removing the motor side, use extreme caution so internal parts such

as the impeller are not damaged.

Make sure vent pipe is adequately installed and supported for weight of inducer. Tjernlund’s optional RT-Series rooftop stands or a

frame to support weight of inducer may be necessary. The vent extending above the roofline may be shortened for a more stable and

aesthetic installation since the Rooftop Inducer provides draft regardless of chimney height.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power supply when making wiring connections or when working around the fan impeller and motor.

Failure to do so can result in electrical shock, personal injury, death or property damage.

INDUCER BASE INSTALLATION

All models include mounting kits to securely attach the Inducer Base to any type of insulated

or single wall metal pipe or tile lined flue.

MOUNTING INDUCER BASE ON METAL VENT PIPE

NOTE: Discard adapter plate, finger clamps and 3 1/2” bolts if mounting on metal vent pipe.

A Mounting Plate and Inlet Collar is included with each Rooftop Inducer. The RT750 Series

collar will slip inside any metal pipe as small as 8" diameter ID and as large as 12” OD. The

RT1500 Series collar will slip inside any metal pipe as small as 12" ID and as large as 20” OD.

If your application has a metal pipe smaller than the noted diameters use an increaser appro-

priate for pipe type to transition to minimum diameter noted.

1. Insert Inlet Collar through Mounting Plate. Place Inducer Base on top of Inlet Collar and

Mounting Plate to sandwich Inlet Collar flange between them. Insert (4) 1/2” 10-32 carriage

MODEL RT750 / RT1500 - PSA-1 FAN PROVING SWITCH INSTALLATION

The RT750 and RT1500 models include the adjustable fan prov-

ing switch model PSA-1. Follow these general procedures for

pressure switch installation and adjustment. NOTE: If using the

DCOP1 control follow “Vent Pipe Sensing Sampling Tube & PSA-1

Fan Prover Location & Installation” section in DCOP1 manual.

1. Install Fan Proving Switch sampling tube in the vent con-

nector 2-3 pipe diameters after the elbow or "T" that turns

the vent from heater flue outlet from vertical to horizontal.

For multiple heater venting into a common manifold, install

after heater closest Rooftop Inducer. If the vent run is

completely vertical, install after draft hood or barometric

draft control. Installing the sampling tube nearer the Inducer

will make the adjustment easier because the pressure

sensed will be more negative and eliminate sensing pres-

sure near the switch’s bottom-end range, (See Diagram N)

2. Using a sharp drill bit to reduce burr, drill a 1/4" hole for

Fan Proving Switch sampling tube. Screw sampling tube

bracket to pipe with sampling hole centered, (See Diag. O).

3. Insert stainless steel sampling tube through 1/4" hole

enough to just penetrate interior of vent pipe and lock in

place with compression nut, (See Diagram O). With the

Rooftop Inducer on, a reading with a draft gauge can be

used to determine when interior of pipe has been penetrated.

4. IMPORTANT: Fan Proving Switch diaphragm must be mounted in a vertical position within six feet of the sensing location. Firmly

insert flexible tubing on sampling tube and Fan Proving Switch nipple marked (LOW). Leave other Fan Proving Switch port open

to room atmosphere. Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks in flexible tubing, (See Diagram P).

SIZING A COMMON MANIFOLD SERVING MULTIPLE HEATERS

The most important step towards assuring that individual heaters vented into a common manifold draft smoothly is to size the mani-

fold large enough to negate the affects that velocity in the manifold has on the junctions of the heater vent connections.

Exhaust gases moving too quickly in a common vent manifold can amplify the draft at vent connectors by aspirating across the con-

nector opening and creating an amplified siphon affect. With a properly sized common vent manifold, velocities are maintained below

the point where they have a significant affect on the draft of the individual heater connections.

It is important to note that these sizing recommendations are for the common vent manifold only and that the typically smaller mini-

mum vent diameter listed in the RT-Series Inducer selection table may be used for the remainder of the horizontal vent and chimney.

The larger diameter vent common manifold should extend at least 2 diameters beyond the connection point of the last heater farthest

from the Inducer.

1. When in doubt, get help from Tjernlund Tech Service at 800-255-4208, push 0 and ask for technical assistance or

email [email protected] with details of your job.

2. If velocities are known, avoid exceeding 1200 FPM in the vent common manifold.

3. When possible use 45OManifold Tee connections to the common vent manifold in the direction of the Inducer instead of 90O

Tee connections.

4. Draft hoods/diverters create a disconnect from the heater’s flue outlet greatly buffering sudden changes in draft. Even if using our

DCOP1 Constant Pressure Controller which reacts quickly to maintain the draft/exhaust set-point we still recommend installing

single acting barometric draft controls on fan assisted and power burner heaters. The barometric draft controls react instantly to

spikes in vent exhaust volume so that precise draft is always maintained.

5. If possible, locate the larger exhaust volume (i.e. higher BTU/hr. input) vent connections closer to the Inducer. This reduces the

affect of their exhaust on smaller volume connections.

6. The size of the common vent manifold should be at least 90% of the total area of all individual vent connections. See example

below.

Example: A vent layout is required for a job that consists of 4 heating appliances. 1 Appliance has an 8" diameter vent connectors,

2 appliances have 6" diameter vent connectors and 1 appliance has a 4" diameter vent connector. Add these areas together:

1 x 0.3491 = 0.3491

2 x 0.1964 = 0.3928

1 x 0.0873 = 0.0873

______

0.8292

Total Area = 0.8292 Square Feet x 0.90 (90%) = 0.7463. In looking at the table above, this area is greater than a 10" diameter pipe

but smaller than a 12" diameter pipe. 12" diameter vent is the minimum size the common vent manifold diameter should be. It is per-

fectly acceptable to be larger than this area if desired. It is also acceptable to have this area be reduced as the vent system works

backward towards the appliance furthest from the Inducer. In this example, the common vent manifold should extend at least 36" past

the last appliance connection point.

RT750 / RT1500 - PSA-1 FAN PROVING SWITCH ADJUSTMENT WITH UC1 OR UCRT INTERLOCK CONTROL

1. Drill an appliance draft sampling hole in the vent riser after each draft diverter or between the flue outlet and the draft hood / baro-

metric draft control of each appliance. For most oil burners sample over-fire draft. Connect draft gauge to sampling hole, (See

Diagram N, Page 7).

2. For installations with a barometric draft control: Adjust weight on draft control to minimum or most responsive position (Less Draft).

3. WARNING: This step requires that the wires connected to the PSA-1 Fan Prover terminals be temporarily removed and

jumpered together. Disconnect power before proceeding.

Remove power source and connect leads attached to the C (common) and N/O (normally open) terminals of the PSA-1 together.

Attach a continuity tester to the C and N/O terminals of the PSA-1 Switch. Turn the PSA-1 adjustment screw counter clockwise until it

seats against the stop. The PSA-1 must be reconnected to the interlocked heaters(s) per the appropriate wiring diagram after

completing these procedures. Failure to do so may result in a hazardous condition such as an explosion, fire or carbon

monoxide poisoning resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. If installing this product in conjunction with a

Tjernlund Products UC1 interlock control the number 9 dip switch must be positioned in the up/’on’ position.

Close all access doors and openings to the mechanical room that would typically be closed during heating equipment operation. Fire

all other heating equipment not connected to this vent system and operate exhaust fans or air consuming devices within the facility

that could affect the air pressure of the mechanical room.

4. Activate Rooftop Inducer and adjust balancing baffle(s) or speed control so that (-0.08" W.C. or -20 Pa) is read at the appliance

draft sampling position(s) referenced in Step 1. The PSA-1 switch contacts should close. If switch contacts do not close move

pressure sampling probe closer to the Inducer. Do not move sampling probe between manual damper and Inducer inlet.

5. Activate burner(s) at full capacity. Gradually adjust balancing baffle(s) or speed control to maintain a slight negative draft

(-0.02" to -0.05" W.C. or -5 to -12.5 Pa) at the heater’s draft sampling location(s). Allow vent temperatures to reach steady

state by referencing breaching flue gas temperatures.

6 Once flue gas temperatures have stabilized, verify that balancing baffle(s) or speed control are adjusted so that a slight negative

draft (-0.02" to -0.05" W.C or -5 to -12.5 PA) is measured at draft sampling location(s). Individual appliance vent connections may

require balancing baffles to evenly regulate draft.

7. Adjust balancing baffle(s) or speed control so that a slight positive draft (neutral to +0.01" W.C. or +2.5 Pa) is measured at the

appliance draft sampling location. Flue gases should just start to spill from the draft hood/draft diverter or barometric draft control.

8. Turn the PSA-1 Fan Prover Switch adjustment screw clockwise in 1/6-turn increments, waiting 2-3 seconds after each adjustment

until the pressure switch opens and no continuity is read. Shut off heater for 5 minutes while continuing to allow inducer to operate.

9. Fire heater and readjust the balancing baffle(s) or speed control so that a negative draft (-0.02 to -0.05" W.C. or -5 to -12.5 Pa ) is

once again measured at the appliance draft sampling location. This readjustment must be enough to cause the PSA-1 Fan Prover

Switch to close. The PSA-1 may take a few moments to close after each adjustment.

10. Confirm Fan Prover Switch set point by adjusting balancing baffle(s) or speed control so that a slight positive draft (neutral to

+0.01" W.C. or +2.5 Pa) is measured at the appliance draft sampling location. Flue gases should just start to spill from the draft

hood/draft diverter or barometric draft control and the Fan Prover Switch should open. Readjust the balancing baffle(s) or speed

control so that a negative draft (-0.02 to -0.05" W.C. or -5 to -12.5 Pa) is once again measured at the appliance draft sampling

location. Verify that the PSA-1 Fan Prover Switch closes.

11. IMPORTANT: Reconnect PSA-1 Fan Prover leads to switch that were jumpered together in Step # 3. Run entire heating/vent

system through 3 cycles to verify proper burner light off and operation. Verify that each appliance lights off properly with all other

appliances not firing. If barometric draft control(s) are excessively open, adjust weight so the draft control damper opens less and

repeat process starting with Step # 3.

12. Sign and date these instructions to verify that the PSA-1 Fan Prover interlock was completed.

These instructions must remain on premises. SIGN:_________________________ DATE:___________

MODEL RT750H / RT1500H SPEED CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

Model RT750H and RT1500H include a motor speed control. Do not alter the internal pot or use a different motor speed control. Do

not wire so that speed control varies the motor cooling fan speed. Always have the inducer operating prior to and during the entire

burn cycle of a solid fuel stove or fireplace.

SPEED CONTROL INSTALLATION

1. Install the speed control in an indoor location adjacent to the solid fuel stove or fireplace, ideally where the flames and smoke can

be viewed when speed adjustments are made.

2. The speed control requires a 2"x4" electrical box. 14-3 w/ground electrical wire is recommended because it consists of a white

(neutral), Black (constant hot), Red (switched variable through speed control) and Green (ground) leads. Commercial applications

may require 12 gauge wire and electrical disconnect on roof.

3. After speed control is installed as wired per the Manual Speed Control diagram on the bottom of Page 9, install included faceplate

to junction box and push adjustment knob onto shaft of speed control.

4. Verify that Rooftop inducer activates when speed control is switched on and that Inducer performance decreases when knob is

turned fully clockwise. This can be done by holding a candle in the unlit fireplace or stove near the flue outlet and observing flame

and smoke.

COMBUSTION AIR

Adequate combustion air is vital for proper combustion and for safe venting. Likewise, for proper Inducer performance, adequate com-

bustion air must be available to the appliance. Many installers assume adequate combustion air is present, especially in older struc-

tures. In some cases this is a false assumption, because many structures have been made "tight" due to weatherization. Size the

combustion air opening(s) into the equipment room as outlined in NFPA 31, 54 & 211. Tjernlund’s IN-FORCERTM combustion air intake

systems provide a convenient, automated way to supply combustion air to the equipment room. When installing the Rooftop Inducer it

is not necessary to supply any more combustion air than normally required when conventional venting.

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE

The Rooftop Inducer is designed for continuous use. The motor is equipped with permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings which do

not require oiling.

A vent pipe / chimney inspection must be performed annually. The inspection should include checking all vent pipe and connections

for blockage and leaks. A safety interlock test as outlined in Step # 11 under “RT750 / RT1500 PSA-1 Fan Proving Switch Adjustment”

starting on Page 12 must also be performed annually for models RT750 & RT1500.

For oil and solid fuel applications inspect impeller after (3) months and set up a periodic inspection and cleaning routine as necessary.

If used on a fireplace that is used regularly (2-3 times a week), semi annual chimney cleaning may be required to prevent creosote

buildup. If used on a commercial wood-fired pizza oven cleaning may be required every 2-3 months. No matter how often used, a

chimney serving wood-fired appliances should be cleaned and inspected at least once a year.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: Disconnect the power supply when making wiring connections or when working around the fan impeller and motor.

1. Remove (2) latch screws opposite hinge side on the front of Rooftop Inducer housing. Open housing until side hinge stops

are engaged. Remove discharge grilles for greater access to impeller.

2. If necessary, use scraper and/or brush to clean soot and creosote buildup on the impeller and inside inducer base. Use caution

not to displace impeller balancing weights.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM: Inducer Vibrates

SOLUTION: Clean Impeller.

PROBLEM: The Inducer does not operate.

SOLUTION: Confirm that the Inducer is properly wired. Verify that circuit breaker has not tripped. Check for 120 VAC at output of

speed control when turned to 100% on position (if equipped). If voltage is measured at speed control output check

for 120 VAC at junction box motor leads. If 120 VAC is present replace motor.

PROBLEM: The motor High Limit is tripping.

SOLUTION: Check to confirm that Cooling Fan is operational by supplying 120 VAC direct voltage to Cooling Fan. Make sure

that Rooftop Inducer cooling air inlets are not blocked (cooling air inlets are smaller grilles on hinged & opposite

hinged side). Verify flue gas temps are suitable for the Inducer ratings.
